Why wood decks are awesome + dry hatch install.

[@DustinDIY]

Good video. Short. Concise, clear, no ramble.

If you are going to use oil base paint.. HIGHLY Recommend Penatrol..Way better thin usi g thinner..I have own my own Painting Business.and bin a Painter for 30 yrs. Love your videos. Have learned alot 😊

love what you guys do. ryan nate all you guys. i got an old 14ft arkansas traveler that im starting. it had wood gunnels and end caps so it will have to get the same treatment as your weekend warrior build. i will be buying a good portion of the parts from tbnation (live well kit, lid builder kit, etc.) got most of it figured up and priced out and looking at about $4000 to go into my $325 boat. lol anyway thanks for what yall do. i wouldnt have wanted to try let alone think i could pull it off without you guys.

Great video. I love these videos on a specific topic

[@wapitibob]

Did the front casting deck and trolling motor deck with 3/4 Birch ply, epoxy sealed, and HydroTurf after watching your vids. Sticks like it was screwed down, fantastic stuff. Think I'll try the oil based for the floor that I'm doing now. Thanks for the awesome vids.

[@TinyBoatNation]

No prob! Although I would suggest that if you’re already doing epoxy that you should just epoxy the whole thing so it’ll last a lot longer

[@wapitibob]

@@TinyBoatNation Will do, thanks. Screws or rivets to hold plywood to the center Z channels and the formed aluminum cross ribs?

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you very much, that video was perfect! I am saving up to redo the front deck on my regular Tracker Pro170. I have been putting it off because I thought I could not put EVA foam effectively on my old wood deck. But I’m going to use these techniques and redo it and I’m hoping to add a recessed foot pedal for the trolling motor. Thank you again for the inspiration.

[@TinyBoatNation]

No prob!

hi, thanks for the video, it would be great to show how to choose lamps for the interior and an example of their installation on boat

[@herbertballi1896]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing that info with us

[@Saltyskiangler]

Thanks for this video. I’m looking at getting a 14 ft duranatic aluminum boat, looking to do some aluminum hatch, wood decking, and also some liquid pour foam. What are your thoughts about putting something like that in the bay? I’m in the north east looking to do some bridge fishing. Saltwater fishing 😊

Thank you. You made it do able.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Glad I could help!

[@Saltyskiangler]

That’s awesome, the wood decking I needed this video. Been watching Your videos for a few weeks now, I recently sold my fish pro JetSki and transitioning into a small boat. Not sure what to get yet but thought I would ask. What do you think is one of the deepest aluminum boats I can buy in a 16 foot range., looking to use it in the northeast saltwater. Also, how do I purchase one of those hatches? Are the hatches power coated?

[@MrPapi63]

First of all, I love your channel. I have a 18 foot center console that was given to me, and I want to rewire the boat. Putting dual batteries, a VSR, and a cutoff switch. Right now everything is connected to the starter battery. Not good cause I haven’t noticed any fuzes. I want to install the fuse box also. Can you please give some advice and or guidance. Thank you

[@mattaneshansley5349]

Just to clarify, wouldn't you turf the deck after it's installed into the boat so you don't have to put the decking screws through the turf?

[@darinsmith7024]

What thickness and span for the aluminum framing under 3/4 ply would you recommend?

[@TinyBoatNation]

You can run 16 gauge you just need supports every foot or so. The thicker, the aluminum the less support you need the three-quarter inch plywood is pretty stiff by itself.

[@PunkR0ckz09]

It might be a dumb question but here it is anyway; Shouldn't you "burn" the edges of the EVA foam to "seal" it ? By "burn", I meant using a lighter or something like that just to kind of "melt" the fibers (similar to shoelaces and whatnot)

[@TinyBoatNation]

Nope, it’s not necessary.

[@mikejellison8205]

I watch all there videos. I thought they would have done a Crawdad by now. Seems in there wheel house.

[@buttdreads]

I wouldn't feel comfortable being that high above the orig. deck. wonder how this will handle in waves and heavy chop

[@TinyBoatNation]

Just fine. It’s a pretty big boat if it was a 14 footer or if it was skinnier, I would definitely have to worry.

[@wookfolk780]

I have seen jn your other videos u routered it out to sit flush do you not do that anymore cuz it looks fine in this video without it

[@TinyBoatNation]

There’s no need to do it if you’re going to use camel hydrator. It’s more important to do that if you’re running one straight color because then you’ll see shadows

[@wookfolk780]

@@TinyBoatNationthanks do you think I should resin coat my wood or paint it like you did here

[@mitchellwilliams3673]

How do you make the interior of the compartment?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Just wall it off with siding of choice to divide the compartments

[@secretbassrigs]

knock off made in china tiny boats coming soon?! I hope not
